This book accents technique and the learning thereof (kids are included too). The photographs are very fine; it must have been lots of work to get them all so clear. Most of the instruction is aimed at what backcountry skiers sometimes refer to as “slot-car” skiing—doing your thing on prepared tracks and on groomed slopes. Nothing wrong with that though. It’s good to learn where there are fewer problems. That’s where the racing action is too, another subject this book covers.
